Front brake Upgrade
If you are using a Sierra as a donor car, an easy way to upgrade your brakes from the normal 240mm dia vented type is to use RWD Sierra Cosworth disks, with Scorpio 24V calipers and carrier brackets. The Scorpio calipers were designed for a 278mm disk, whereas the RWD Sierra Cosworth uses a 283mm disk. In order to fit the calipers, you will need to grind or file a small amount from the section of the caliper carrier bracket in order to allow clearance round the outside diameter of the Cosworth disk. The only other mod is to put a washer between the standard Sierra upright and the caliper carrier, when mounting the caliper carrier. This will help to centre the disk between the caliper carrier.
The standard Sierra hydraulic hoses fit straight on to the Scorpio 24V calipers, but whilst it is all apart, an upgrade to braided hoses is always a good idea.
